Media notes
A bird searching food on a pine cone. Published in HBW Volume 13 on page 112. Original HBW caption: The diet of the Chestnutvented Nuthatch is not documented, perhaps largely because until recently the species was considered conspecific with the Eurasian Nuthatch (Sitta europaea). However, it is unlikely to differ greatly from other sittids, probably comprising small arthropods and seeds. This individual is using its long, pointed bill to probe between the scales of a pine cone. Somewhat unusually, among the mainly arboreal members of the Sittidae, the Chestnut-vented Nuthatch forages on the ground, even on rocks, as well as on trees. IBC scientific name: Sitta nagaensis montium. Elevation: 1654 m. Date added to IBC: June 21, 2016.
